The lead agency investigating the weekend crash of a miniature train at Cleveland Park in Spartanburg says there is no evidence of “sabotage.”

Capt. Art Littlejohn with the Spartanburg Public Safety Department said investigators have found no evidence of that, adding that Saturday’s crash was a tragic accident.

“We don’t have any indication that it was foul play whatsoever,” Littlejohn said.

Talk of sabotage appears to stem from a quote given to The Greenville News by a Greenville County Recreation Department commissioner. That quote has led to a firestorm of speculation on the Internet by national and international media outlets.

In other words John Liston, aided by the awful Greenville News, spread a conspiracy theory that came straight out of his ass. Nice.

Go ahead and Google this moron’s name, there you’ll see hundreds of hits for people who are still spreading this hokum. I’m sure that when the grieving family runs across this stuff later in life they’ll appreciate Liston’s words of wisdom.

Nice job checking into whether or not Liston was talking out his ass before helping him kick off this firestorm Richard Walton. It’s just a story about a dead kid so why tread cautiously.
